… every element access (PerryTS#10718) An indexed read on an ordinary `Array` cost 87 instructions per element, against 6 for the identical arithmetic on a `Float64Array` and 16 for node. None of it was a runtime call: callgrind attributes 88.3 instructions per element to straight-line code in `main`, of which **56 are loop-invariant receiver revalidation** re-executed every iteration — the NaN-box tag and handle-band test, the forwarding-flag follow, and a six-load live-head guard that re-reads gc_type, gc_flags, obj_flags, a volatile invalidation flag, length and capacity. perry already has tiers that hoist exactly this proof into the loop preheader and version the loop. They were declining at a single gate in `stmt/loops.rs` — `array_static_type_excluded` — a **declared static type** test sitting in front of a tier that is otherwise fully runtime-guarded. `const a: number[] = new Array(400)` reached it and measured 13.4; plain `new Array(400)` infers `Array<any>` and did not, so ordinary JavaScript never got the tier it already had. Separately, and larger: `a[i] += 1` cost 948 instructions per element, 3.7x the identical `a[i] = a[i] + 1`, and a type annotation did not help. `lower/expr_assign.rs` minted the compound-assignment spill temporaries as `Type::Any`, erasing the receiver's array-ness and the index's integer-ness before codegen could see the statement — which is why no annotation could recover it. The temporaries now carry the operand types. Array read 87.0 -> 13.5 (node 16.3 — perry now wins 1.21x) a[i] += 1 948 -> 273 a[i] += b[i] 1025 -> 347 bare loop 4.0 -> 4.0 unchanged to the instruction Float64Array r/w 6.0/8.0 -> 6.0/8.0 unchanged to the instruction A particle simulation over four numeric arrays spends 60.9% fewer instructions (41.21 G -> 16.12 G) and 59% less peak RSS. The widened tier initially regressed a numeric window inside an otherwise non-numeric array by 33%, because the array-wide layout walk runs per loop entry. A window-scoped layout proof is used as a second chance after that walk declines; both shapes are now 12-13% wins, and arrays that are non-numeric from slot 0 are unchanged to the instruction.

…ent stores (PerryTS#10718) An indexed write cost 105 instructions per element with zero runtime calls; 51 of them were loop-invariant receiver revalidation and 42 was a write-barrier decision provable away from the value type. This widens the store admission the way PerryTS#10731 widened reads. a[i] = k + i 105 -> 17.4, a[i] = a[i] + 1 256 -> 24.5, a[i] = a[i] + b[i] 333 -> 35.9. The bare loop, both Float64Array paths and the indexed read are unchanged to the instruction. The barrier-stem census probe for idxset.recv_global gains a second statement: the widened tier made its loop qualify, which would have left that stem with no live witness. A future multi-statement store tier must re-shape the probe, not delete it. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01YaNfLEjMRdhCLtk3SB5MdJ
…already had (PerryTS#10743) Fixes PerryTS#10743. Stacked on PerryTS#10746 (`2b2b89063`), which contains PerryTS#10731. `a[i] += 1` and `a[i] = a[i] + 1` are the same operation and node compiles both to the same cost. perry compiled them 11x apart -- 277 instructions per element against 24 -- and the slow one was the idiomatic spelling. HIR's `hoist_compound_member_assign` lowers a compound member assignment into two immutable alias `Let`s plus the store, so the base and the key are each evaluated exactly once and before the right-hand side. `packed_f64_range_loop_body_collect` admits exactly ONE statement, so the lowering guaranteed the statement could never reach the tier that makes the expanded form fast. Annotating the array changed nothing: the obstacle is the statement count, not type information. The temporaries stay. They are load-bearing -- an RHS call can reassign the bindings they were read from, and the store must still land at the index evaluated before it ran (`a[i] += (() => { i = 2; return 5; })()`). So the fold is in the MATCHER, and it applies only to the guarded fast clones: the slow clone lowers the statements as written, so a failed guard and every side exit still execute the specified evaluation order. Inside the matched subset the fold is exact, because `packed_f64_range_loop_pure_expr_collect` is a whitelist that admits no call, closure, `await`, update or assignment anywhere in the statement -- nothing can write the locals the aliases read. This needs none of PerryTS#10741's mid-iteration side-exit discipline: the folded-away statements perform no stores, so there is nothing to un-do when a guard fails partway. Per element, fitted across N=10,000 -> 50,000, three interleaved rounds per arm: a[i] += 1 277.05 -> 25.46 (node 16.9) a[i] -= 1 208.05 -> 27.45 (node 16.9) a[i] += b[i] 347.05 -> 35.86 (node 25.8) -- now exactly a[i] = a[i] + b[i] a[i] *= 1 206.05 -> 25.45 (node 15.1) a[i] |= 0 236.05 -> 52.46 (node 12.7) The bare loop, both `Float64Array` rows, the indexed read and write and both expanded spellings are unchanged -- their emitted LLVM IR is byte-identical between arms, which is a stronger witness than a flat fitted number. It moves none of the five real programs in PerryTS#10695, and the compiler's own trace says why: `sim` still reports 3 x `body_not_admissible`, because its inner loop is five statements containing two `if`s. This admits a body whose extra statements are compound-assign ALIASES, not a body whose extra statements do things. That remains PerryTS#10741. New diagnostic: `PERRY_PACKED_LOOP_TRACE=1` prints `[range-loop] admitted: compound_assign_alias_fold`. The existing traces report only DECLINES, so there was no way to show that a fixture claiming to exercise a guarded path actually reached it -- the exact gap that let PerryTS#10746 ship a GC stress whose fixtures were all declined before the guard under test ran. Correctness: 25 differential fixtures (evaluation order with a side-effecting RHS, getters and setters on the array / on `Array.prototype` / on the index, a prototype getter that truncates, deletes from or freezes the array mid-loop, frozen and sealed in sloppy and strict mode, a non-writable index, holes, out of bounds, past `length`, non-number elements, string `+=`, heap-reference stores, offset and affine indices, module-global receivers, typed arrays, and all fifteen compound operators) pass on both arms with byte-identical results. Guard sabotage: removing the per-store numeric-bits value check produces 27 SIGABRTs across seven heap-limit seeds under `PERRY_GC_FROMSPACE_SCAN_ABORT=1` (0 unsabotaged), with the from-space scan naming a survivor-space array holding an un-evacuated nursery pointer through a slot that was never marked dirty -- so this path does not bypass PerryTS#10746's write barrier, it is the same check on the same store. Neutering the loop-entry guard turns four fixtures red, all of them through the fold. The `mutable: false` condition is witnessed by a unit test and an IR test; the `__cmpd_` name test and the initialiser grammar are scoping restrictions with unit-test witnesses only, and lowering the folded body in the slow clone as well turns nothing red -- all three are stated as unwitnessed in the report rather than claimed. Gates: node identity 92 identical / 1 diff / 0 compile-fail on both arms with byte-identical results files (the diff is the pre-existing PerryTS#10733 `nest` defect); `perry-codegen` lib 1650 pass including the barrier stem census and its four sabotage twins, with NO census probe change needed; `perry-hir` green; clippy 470 = 470 with identical per-category counts; `cargo fmt`, `check_file_size.sh`, `gc_runtime_root_holders.py` and `local_binding_type_audit.py` clean and identical on both arms; peak RSS worst case +0.60%. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01YaNfLEjMRdhCLtk3SB5MdJ
…stitution (PerryTS#10761) `o["a"]` written in source is already lowered to `o.a` by the AST->HIR member lowering (the PerryTS#529 fold in `lower/expr_member/member_tail.rs`). But `module_const_fold` substitutes a hoisted `const K = "a"` into the key position *after* that matcher has run, and nothing re-ran it — so the enclosing node stayed an `IndexGet` and codegen's static-string-key arm resolved it by name at runtime on every read: UTF-8-validate the key, hash it for the accessor Bloom summary, classify the receiver, then scan the shape's key array. Phase 2 re-applies the same rewrite. The produced node is bit-identical to the one `o["name"]` produces in source, so there is no new fast path and no new guard; the read simply reaches the per-site monomorphic inline cache that the dotted spelling already used. O[K] + O[J] on {a:1,b:2,c:3} 1236 -> 169 instructions/iteration (7.31x) which is exactly what the same pair spelled `O.a + O.b` costs. Identical at both fit ranges. It also corrects a spec divergence: `null[K]` and `undefined[K]` silently read `undefined` before this change, where node throws a TypeError. Numeric-index strings are excluded, mirroring the source-level fold verbatim, so `arr["0"]` keeps IndexGet semantics. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01YaNfLEjMRdhCLtk3SB5MdJ
…e string-coercion ladders (PerryTS#10762) Four edits, all runtime, no codegen: `js_string_coerce` and `js_jsvalue_to_string_method` reached their plain-number arm last, through a seven-way jump table; `is_number()` is one range test and the exact complement of the arms it skips, so the number arm is hoisted ahead of them. `js_number_to_string`'s admission check forced LLVM to emit a 14-instruction saturating f64->u64 cast on a value already proven to be in 0..256, plus a redundant second bound check; the cheaper admission lets it emit a 4-instruction cast, and the cache-fill arm is outlined `#[cold]` so its inlined `format!` stops costing 15 instructions of prologue in the hit path. `format_number_into` gains a range-proven i32 arm. String(k%100) 190.0 -> 163.0 (-14.2%) n.toString() 536.3 -> 433.0 (-19.3%) `${n}` 433.3 -> 413.0 (-4.7%) String(k%1e6) 558.3 -> 540.3 (-3.2%) float 1146.6 -> 1136.6 (-0.9%) "" + n 264.5 -> 264.5 0.00% control (no conv) 82.0 -> 82.0 0.00% No row regresses. Both arms are flat within 2% across 20k->200k and 500k->5M. This does not reach parity with node or bun, and the remaining distance needs an ABI change rather than another pass: `"" + n` never allocates, because `js_string_concat_value_box` returns an f64 and packs a short result into SHORT_STRING_TAG, while the other three entry points are declared `-> *mut StringHeader` and must allocate a heap string for a three-byte result. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01YaNfLEjMRdhCLtk3SB5MdJ
…at was fixed in the runtime (PerryTS#10769) `RepselContextFlags::derive`'s `Entry` arm forced `allows_ptr_shape: false` and a `MODULE_INIT_CONTEXT` denial, on the stated grounds that "PerryTS#6991 is an open rooting bug in exactly that position". PerryTS#6991 is closed. It was fixed by PerryTS#7249 (64c1f56), which placed `populate_global_this_builtins` inside a `GcSuppressScope` — a runtime fix, not a codegen one. The gate has since been guarding against a bug that no longer exists, and the effect was that a shape proof in an entry body was made, counted as a win in the optimiser report, and then dropped at every access site. The `Entry` arm now derives all three flags from their knobs like any other body. module-level const, loop at module level 110.00 -> 88.99 (-19.1%) node is 14.50 on the same fixture, so this does not reach parity; roughly 36 instructions of entry-body cost remain and are not this gate. The same body placed inside a function is the control and correctly does not move. The nine real programs do not move, and the mechanism was checked rather than assumed: `--opt-report` module-init denial mentions are identical on both arms for all nine, because none of them has a `Ptr<Shape>` candidate in its entry body. `validate` and `resolve` do hold module-level const records, but they are read from inside functions, which globalizes them and puts them behind the separate storage limitation tracked as PerryTS#7109. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01YaNfLEjMRdhCLtk3SB5MdJ
`toFixed(6)` cost 646 instructions and `toFixed(7)` cost 7,125 — a 10.7x jump
for one more decimal place, while node and bun are flat across the range.
Two causes, both of them a bound that had drifted from the thing it bounds:
`spec_to_fixed` asked `format!("{x:.1100}")` on every input. 1100 is the
smallest subnormal's worst case, so `(6.0).toFixed(7)` expanded 1100 decimal
places through dragon4 and discarded 1093 of them. It now asks for the digits
the value actually has.
`POW10` was seven entries local to `fmt_fixed_int`, while the admission bound
read `dp <= 6` a hundred lines away as though it were an overflow limit. It is
now `POW10_FIXED` at module scope with 20 entries, and the doc comment states
that the table's length *is* the bound — they are the same object rather than
two constants that happen to agree.
dp 0 524.2 -> 520.2
dp 2 592.6 -> 564.6
dp 6 646.0 -> 620.9
dp 7 7125.4 -> 633.1
dp 8 7159.1 -> 645.6
(12.34).toFixed(8) 12637.2 -> 596.6 (21.2x)
node is 905-954 and bun 1016-1108 across the same range, so every row is now a
win where dp >= 7 was a 7.5x loss. dp 0-6 also gained 4-5% because `10u64.pow(dp)`
became a table load.
405,828 node-identical results across the fixture set, including 378,000
targeting the newly admitted inexact-product population.

…nd condition (PerryTS#10777) `expr_numeric_by_construction` required `rec(operand)` for `Pos`, the same as for `Neg` and `BitNot`. That was not a soundness guard, it was a missed proof. Unary `+` is ToNumber, which either completes holding a Number or throws: a BigInt and a Symbol both throw a TypeError, an object goes through ToPrimitive and then ToNumber again, `undefined` is NaN, and NaN is a Number. A throw stores no value, so the store-universe question this fixpoint asks is vacuous on that path — there is no input for which `+x` finishes holding something other than a Number. `Neg` and `BitNot` keep their operand condition, because ToNumeric is BigInt-preserving: `-1n` is `-1n` and `~1n` is `-2n`, neither a Number. The missed proof left the ACCUMULATOR unproven, so its add kept a per-iteration tag test: const v = +o.a; for (…) h += v 20 -> 9 Ir/iteration const v = +a[0]; for (…) h += v 20 -> 9 (Float64Array) which is exactly where `o.a * 1` and `o.a - 0` already sat. node is 7.03 and 7.50 on the same fixtures, bun 4.27 and 4.48, so this closes the perry-versus-perry gap and does not reach parity. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01YaNfLEjMRdhCLtk3SB5MdJ
… user bytes cannot forge a boxed value (PerryTS#10779) A double whose bit pattern falls inside the NaN-box tag window read back as its payload instead of the NaN it is. `Number.isNaN` then reported false, so the one defensive check a program would use agreed the value was fine. It is not a wrong number. 80 of 144 probe patterns diverge on base and 32 of them SIGSEGV: 0x7FF9... reads back with `typeof === "string"` and 0x7FFD... as `[object Object]` — a pointer forged out of user-controlled bytes. Seeded GC stress with FROMSPACE_SCAN_ABORT=1 survives 0 of 10 seeds on base and 10 of 10 here. A field is a conduit, not a source: the only way a tag-band NaN enters is an ArrayBuffer float read, so canonicalising those is sufficient. Perry already enforces the same invariant for Array<number> on the store side (array/header.rs:841); typed arrays are the one class where it has to be on the read. Rejected, with reasons recorded in the PR: moving the tag band (no NaN-free window exists in NaN space, either sign); fixing it at the decode (0x7FFE... is simultaneously a valid int32 box and a valid NaN); JSC's +/-2^49 offset (charges every double rather than only NaNs); canonicalising at the raw-to-boxed boundary (a perry value IS a double, so that boundary is not a syntactic site); and canonicalising only in-band NaNs, which is unsound — a signalling NaN quiets INTO the band, and fneg/fabs move negative payload NaNs in. Float64Array element read 6.04 instr -0.006% every PerryTS#10777 and PerryTS#10761 row 0 h += a[k&255] inline tier 28 -> 30 Float32Array inline tier 41 -> 46 No row where perry beats node regresses. NaN payload bits are no longer preserved through a JS number: 101 of 144 cases differ in bits only, nothing semantic. node preserves them; this matches JSC and SpiderMonkey. It is spec-permitted and unavoidable under any sound design. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01YaNfLEjMRdhCLtk3SB5MdJ

Update the stale compound-assignment statement.
This fragment says that a[i] += 1 is unaffected. The same release now admits that operation through the compound-assignment alias fold. Remove this statement or describe the final combined behavior.
Based on learnings, changelog fragments must describe the final shipped behavior as one coherent release-note entry.

Remove fast-body global overrides before lowering the slow clone.
The alias fold exposes the original module-global receiver to packed_f64_range_loop_invariant_global_reads. The generated ctx.locals override then remains active for the slow clone.
If the guard fails because an indexed getter or setter exists, the generic slow operation can run user code that reassigns the module global. The next iteration must read the new binding. The cached override instead keeps using the pre-loop receiver.
Remove these overrides after all fast tiers are lowered and before lower_for_after_init lowers the original slow body.

Handle exact halves that round to an integer during multiplication.
When value * scale is above 2^52, an exact half can round to an integer before fmt_fixed_int checks frac.
For example, (450359962.73828125).toFixed(7) has the exact scaled value 4503599627382812.5. The f64 multiplication rounds this midpoint to the even integer 4503599627382812. The tie guard sees frac == 0, so this path returns 450359962.7382812 instead of 450359962.7382813.
Use the FMA residual when scaled_raw is integral. If its absolute value is 0.5, defer to spec_to_fixed or adjust away from zero.

Gap sweep weighted at the blast radius — every read of a double out of binary data: Both behavioural notes are in the train body rather than only here, since the body is what becomes the release note: NaN payload bits are no longer preserved (101 of 144 cases differ in bits only — matches JSC and SpiderMonkey, differs from node), and the two regressing rows are named explicitly with the Your rejected-alternatives table is preserved in the body verbatim in substance, particularly that canonicalising only in-band NaNs is unsound because a signalling NaN quiets into the band and One thing still open, not blocking: |

Fixes #10779.
A double whose bit pattern falls inside the NaN-box tag window read back as its payload integer rather than the NaN it is, and
Number.isNaNthen reportedfalse— so the one defensive check a program would use agreed the value was fine.This is memory safety, not a wrong number
80 of 144 probe patterns diverge on base, and 32 of them SIGSEGV.

Seeded GC stress with
PERRY_GC_FROMSPACE_SCAN_ABORT=1: base survives 0 of 10 seeds, this branch 10 of 10.The design
A field is a conduit, not a source. The only way a tag-band NaN enters the system is an
ArrayBufferfloat read, so canonicalising those is sufficient —numeric_fieldsthen cannot hold one. Perry already enforces this same invariant forArray<number>on the store side (array/header.rs:841); typed arrays are the one class where it has to be on the read.Rejected, with reasons

PERRY_NANBOX_CANON=0reproduces base exactly — arm distinctness proven at row level rather than by binary hash alone.This also unblocks #10777: with tag-band NaNs excluded at the source,
numeric_fieldssatisfies the predicate's real contract ("any NaN it produces must carry a non-tag payload") and the property-access arm becomes admissible with no change on that path.Three things for a reviewer to decide, none decided silently
1. NaN payload bits are no longer preserved through a JS number — 101 of 144 cases differ in bits only, nothing semantic. node preserves them; this now matches JSC and SpiderMonkey. Spec-permitted and unavoidable under any sound design, but it is a real behavioural difference from node.
2. Four codegen guards have no named failing output. With all codegen guards disabled, the runtime
load_atguard alone still yields 144/144 probe patterns and 49/50 shapes node-identical. Those four guards are where the entire +2/+5 cost lives; dropping them returns both rows to base cost. They were kept as defence-in-depth for tiers that bypassload_atby construction — flagged rather than presented as witnessed.3. FFI returns are an unpatched raw source (
native_value/materialize.rs:413,:610,:692). Ifexpr_numeric_by_constructionadmits an FFI call as number-producing, #10777's precondition is not fully discharged. Being closed separately.Gates
